My Experience

I wrangle pixels in the service of connecting with an audience. I distill my clients’ message and meaning into narratives that hit their mark.

Kaiser PermanenteAugust 2016 – Present

I work with a crack team of creatives to produce award-winning videos that educate the public, drive growth, and spread the word about total community health. This is core value at Kaiser Permanente, and it’s a pleasure to tell those stories.

American University

Adjunct Professor
I teach graduate and undergraduate students the fundamentals of animation and motion graphics theory and practice. This includes providing in-depth instruction in Adobe After Effects and how to integrate materials from Photoshop and Illustrator into a successful workflow. My position has allowed me to facilitate collaboration between students and prominent conservation non-profits, resulting in student work getting broad exposure via the official media channels of the organizations.

I also served as liaison between the graphic design team, software developers, and clients.
